The issue I have with these comparisons is the settings are set lower than what I would play at or most of us here. For example with Pauls Hardware in GTA V he used 2x MSAA - At that resolution, 1080p, I would use at least 4x MSAA if not 8xMSAA plus most of the Advanced Graphics settings as well. In that case I doubt there would really be any difference between the two memory speeds. AOTS I just do not play. Up the resolution that most of us play at then the ram speed probably make even less of an impact. Yes memory speeds can have an impact but if you max out your gaming experience it is probably very little difference. Of course we will probably see endless arguments if RyZen is not as good as an Intel chip because of Ram speed
So maxing RyZen memory out to begin with may just help alleviate an avalanche of pointless arguments.The issue I have with these comparisons is the settings are set lower than what I would play at or most of us here.

One just needs to be aware and maybe smart enough to realize that monitor refresh rates also can dictate if you need faster ram, faster processors etc. If one is gaming on a 60hz 1080p monitor then an I5, Ryzen 1400 etc. will probably give just a good experience with that GTX 1060 or GTX 1070 than an Intel 6950x cpu. Getting 200 fps or constant 60 FPS on a 60hz monitor, the 60 fps would be higher quality due to no tearing of the higher frame rates. At higher resolutions it becomes GPU horsepower as more important than cpu power or ram speeds. Yes you can show the difference but from real playability, maxing out the experience HardOCP is going to show if there is any real difference.
I know it helped out a LITTLE bit when I modified the 4C profile for my Carrizo laptop, to shove the main threads onto separate CMT Modules. Hard to really say how much it helped when it's thermally limited to 15W and shared between CPU and GPU.
Yeah, there are few other games released in 2004 that we no longer use for review purposes either.World of Warcraft
Remember when it was a game that HardOCP had in their reviews? I remember.
Why?
I personally believe AMD has overpriced 1700x and 1800x prices should come down as soon as intel launches its counter. I will be waiting to hopefully get 1800x for less than 400 and buy a rx vega nano
Still working on it. Think about this.....we are talking about 180 real-world gaming runthroughs and that is WITHOUT doing any verification of results and without any problems while doing those runthroughs. And I can tell you that there will be verification and problems. I would suggest that you are looking at a minimum of an actual 30 full hours of gameplay if everything is PERFECT. That does not count making sure the data from that is collected properly, analyzed, put onto graphs, changing hardware, etc. From start we figured 2 to 3 weeks for production of the single article....and the 580 launch was dropped in the middle of that.
